Off the Rack: No Sign of A+ by Aldo at My Target But Here's What I Saw Instead

New fall shoes and clothes - need to make a Target run!!
Earlier this week I visited Target to see if the new A+ by Aldo collection had made its debut yet, but sadly it had not. I've seen some pics on Instagram of the bags cropping up at other stores in other parts of the country but no luck in my area just yet. If you've seen the new Aldo shoes or bags, let me know, I'm dying to see them in real life! If you're as excited as me and can't wait to get your hands on some A+, you can shop a few styles online on sale (buy one get one half off!!)...but I'm waiting to try stuff on. I'm in love with the navy Emery boots and this Mulberry-inspired bag...drool.

Two Ways to Wear It: Maxi Skirts

Two ways to style a maxi skirt
We're going to great lengths in this week’s Two Ways to Wear it column, as team Sydne Style shows us how to wear maxi skirts. The trend works whether you are petite like Sydne (left) or tall like Haley. Check out sydnestyle.com for more fashion inspo!

The maxi skirt is the perfect trend to transition from summer into fall. Maxi skirts are great because they are much more versatile than maxi dresses. They allow you the option to pick any top, adding a bit more of your own personal style into the outfit.
